Q: How much is an aerator?

• <div><p>Lawn aerators range in cost depending on what type of aerator you&rsquo;re purchasing. For example, a manual spike aerator might cost as little as $25, while a motorized core aerator will likely cost more than $1,000. Fortunately, these expensive pieces of equipment can be easily rented from many vendors for far less money.</p></div>

Q: Can you just sprinkle grass seed on a lawn?

• <div><p>Technically, yes&mdash;and you may have some successful growth&mdash;but this isn&rsquo;t the ideal way to fill in sparse areas. By clearing leaves and debris, amending the soil, and aerating it properly before you lay the seeds, you&rsquo;re providing the most ideal conditions for them to germinate.</p></div>

Q: How long does lawn aeration take?

• <div><p>Aeration typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the size of the lawn and the equipment used.</p></div>

Q: What is the best time of year to redo a lawn?

• <div><p>Depending on the lawn treatments, the best times of the year to redo your lawn are between mid-August and mid-September for overseeding and renovation treatments. For areas such as the southern United States, lawn aeration works best during the fall, when the temperatures begin to drop. Otherwise, early spring is your next best bet because the grass is fresh and ready to absorb nutrients, and the temperature isn&rsquo;t hot enough to fry the grass and the renovation materials.</p></div>

Taylor started off good; but as time went on, his work got sloppy. He does not take criticism at all. He gives you a face. His weed eater help, scalped my yard; and thus, weeds appeared. Mentioned it three times and it did not improve, it got worse. There were deliberate acts to ruin my yard...
